We ARE getting a new village!

I knew they’d show that shit early on. Tigrex looks badass and I think the hint at the end is fucking GLAVENUS.

SO…MUCH…NEW…STORY…CONTENT!!

MHW hands down is “arguably” the best shit Capcom has done in decades!!!
Monster Hunter World just jumped over RDR2 as my top game from 2018, since Capcom is actually expanding its story mode!!

More details from the official site, via Reddit.

Legiana variant is called Shrieking Legiana;

https://www.monsterhunter.com/world-iceborne/assets/img/common/monster/monster_02_large.jpg

“A Legiana variant shrouded in white frost. It specializes in freezing prey with the powerful chill it emits, then swooping down to strike at them from overhead.”

New base is called Seliana

https://www.monsterhunter.com/world-iceborne/us/base/

“Seliana features all of the same facilities that are essential to your investigations, such as the Ecological Research Center, the Smithy, the Resource Center, and the rest. Additionally, Seliana’s layout was designed to ensure even easier accessibility to each of the facilities.”

“Your Housekeeper has also set up a little booth outside your room, so you can more easily access facilities like the Tailraider Safari.”

A nifty new feature of Seliana;

“The Steamworks is a new facility in Seliana that burns fuel to create steam, which is used to power the rest of the facilities in the new HQ! Fuel accumulates automatically after completing quests. You can also obtain it in exchange for items and ore materials. By collecting fuel and using it to help out at the Steamworks, you can earn all sorts of extra items!”

Also, we get a new chef, the Grammeowster Chef!

Tigrex render

“A flying wyvern straight out of prehistory, known for its deafening roar and powerful legs that drive its overwhelming charge.”

Also, this video shows presumably the full Odogaron vs Tigrex turf war;

Dude we can ride the tailraiders (like small Jagras) now, and I guess you can even attack while riding them.

This shit was a lie btw. It was just about announcing that some wrestlers are hosting the E3 streams. Still, there will be an Iceborne panel during E3, so there’s that to look forward to as well

Thot-Hunter fashion lives on in Iceborn!!
